First-of-its-kind travel experience tailored to
dogs now booking new routes to and from the New York, Los Angeles,
London, Paris, Chicago, San Francisco Bay, Phoenix, and Miami/Fort
Lauderdale metro areas
BARK, Inc. (NYSE: BARK), the leading global omnichannel dog
brand, today announced the expansion of BARK Air, the world’s first
air travel experience designed specifically for dogs first, and
their human companions second, with five new destinations and seven
new routes both domestically and internationally in response to
customer demand. Building on the momentum since BARK Air first took
flight last month between New York (HPN) and Los Angeles (VNY), and
New York (HPN) and London (BQH), the company will now help dogs and
their humans travel comfortably and conveniently to the metro areas
of Paris (LBG), Chicago (MDW), San Francisco/San Jose (SJC),
Phoenix (PHX), and Miami/Fort Lauderdale (FXE). Flights for the new
routes are available for booking today at DogsFlyFirst.com and
begin taking off this October.

“The interest and enthusiasm around BARK Air to date have been
overwhelming,” said Matt Meeker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of BARK. “We are excited to expand BARK Air’s service to
new cities and through new routes, accommodating customer demand
and bringing our unique, stress-free dog-centric travel experience
to even more families."
BARK Air takes the white glove experience typical of a human’s
first-class experience and redirects all that pampering to pooches
– from booking to arrival, to in-flight services and
disembarkation, dogs are the VIPs and treated to a positively
luxurious, curated experience.
- Following booking, humans are contacted by a BARK Air
concierge to collect information about each dog and their human’s
travel plans to ensure the best possible experience.
- On travel day, dogs and their companions arrive at the
airport 60 minutes before takeoff for a simple, efficient check-in
process where dogs can meet other furry friends on their flight –
no crates or stressful lines.
- Before boarding, a highly skilled BARK Air concierge
will welcome dogs at the gate to help them settle into their
experience through socialization and dog-centric cabin preparation.
The BARK Air concierge also evaluates each dog to ensure they are
enjoying their experience and adapting to the new environment and
if additional attention and care are needed prior to boarding or
once on board.
- Also prior to boarding, the plane is treated to a “Dogs
Fly First” flight prep with calming pheromones, music, and colors
that pups prefer. All furry passengers have access to various aids
such as calming treats, noise-canceling ear muffs, and calming
jackets to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable flight.
- Once onboard, dogs are served a snack or beverage of
choice during ascent and descent to ensure they do not experience
any ear discomfort commonly caused by changes in cabin pressure.
Additionally, a variety of BARK-branded treats, snacks, and
surprises are provided throughout the flight with the intent of
pampering furry passengers and their humans.
An Argus Platinum-rated charter company is responsible for all
aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance-related matters, while
BARK is focused on creating and delivering a world-class air travel
experience for dogs and their people.
Westchester County voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against
BARK on June 10, which at no time impacted BARK Air's operations.
BARK Air will continue to operate flights to and from HPN.
